Books About Japan Donated to Leo Bradley Library  

The Embassy of Japan in Belize donated an assortment of books to the Leo Bradley Library today. The donation falls under the Read Japan project which aims to provide readers with an accurate picture of Japan. While the project is mainly targeted at young researchers who are interested in Japan, it is also aimed at opinion leaders and intellectuals specializing in areas other than Japanese studies. Chief Librarian Lusiola Castillo says this will add to the library’s collection.

 

Lusiola Castillo, Chief Librarian

“Our patrons are always seeking new and relevant information to quench their information needs and for self-development. Therefore, we need to be constantly updating and expanding our collection to meet these needs.  The Read Japan project, with its wide range of topics in its collection, will be an added collection that will enhance the knowledge acquisition of Belizeans and visitors alike. The books will compliment our international collection and provide interesting read to our patrons on Japan’s history, culture, society, literature, arts, economy, business, international relation, and politics. And as you can see the displays, we have some of the books that we have acquired through the collection to the project for the Leo Bradley library.”
